In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, the fund highlighted a few stocks and American Tower Corp (NYSE:AMT) is one of them. American Tower Corp (NYSE:AMT) is an American real estate investment trust and an owner and operator of wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure in several countries worldwide. In the last three months, American Tower Corp (NYSE:AMT) stock gained 4.9% and on March 23rd it had a closing price of $229.85. Here is what the fund said:
“AMT and EQIX shares were also top detractors this quarter despite both reporting solid quarterly results, as investors shifted away from infrastructure REITs such as towers (AMT) and datacenters (EQIX).
For AMT, rapidly rising global mobile data usage in the range of 30%-40% per year continues to drive robust capital investment within the wireless industry. 5G deployment and major carriers’ needs for high-quality networks are likely to drive double-digit capital spending growth in 2021 (and similar amounts for the foreseeable future), irrespective of carrier consolidation.”
